First Finders!!!

I am constantly amazed at how many green areas and parks there are in this area. This was an easy letterbox to find, and Benjamin likes to just wander around and explore. Although he makes me nervous because he won't stop to wait for me - just takes off on his own.

2007 Stats

Well, that is it for our first year of letterboxing. Final tally for the year 2007.

We have found 24 letterboxes, and attempted 3 letterboxes. I have yet to plant any, but I am not that artistic of a person. Everywhere I go know, I look for potential places to hide letterboxes. My favorite stamp this year has to be the "Tucked in Tight" stamp found in Virginia Beach. That was probably also my favorite location. It was fun to try and be very stealthy while looking for that stamp.

"Just Another Cheesy Halloween Series" by Schizokeet

This was a cute little park over in Annandale. Not good for strollers, but both boys hiked the whole thing! We missed box #1 and box #2 - started looking for them too late. But we did find box #3, which stated there was also a bonus box. So we attempted it and thought we found it, but actually turned out to be box #1. Turns out the park is one circle so we were right back where we started from. Using our new box #1, we were then able to find box #2. Never did find the bonus box though.

Again, I am so glad that I have taken up this hobby, because I am really getting to know Northern Virginia better. There are parks EVERYWHERE. And nice ones too. The trails in this park are stroller friendly. Too bad the boys aren't with me. But finally.....a letterboxing friendly park! There were benches to sit on and stamp. Definitely the most comfortable I've been. Too bad I had to run back to the car when I found the first box because I did not have any writing implements with me. I will definitely make sure that I have something with me at all times in the future.
